I have decided....

[Freelander Sporrano]

Graham , I was just telling the wife about your decision. She lifted an eyebrow,thought for a bit and then said " What about when he's up a ladder."
I didn't tell her about you keeping some shorts Or about the "Utilikilt modesty snap"

Shame on me

[Casey]

Graham,

When your are cleaning out your closet don't throw out the "green tights". Maybe I can use them.

Blue knees, green tights? Goes good with a Gordon or Black Watch. N'est pas?

, Can you imagine the mayor of Vancouver out there doing kilt spins with Andrew

May be we should formally invite him to the Kilts night and makes the guest of Honour. His presence make buy us lots of press in the media.

After all, He wants his city to be nick named 'Funcouver'

[Plastic Paddy]

While kilted at a function for city employees, the mayor told me he always wanted to wear a kilt. I said he should and went into great detail with reasons for it.

He said he didn't think he had the "b@lls to do it." Having a pint or two under me belt I informed him that if he had big enough b@lls to be a politician, he was well over the load limit to wear a kilt.

Still no order for a kilt, and I am not going to get a political advisor job anytime soon.

Slainte,

Tobie

Graham, I think you should be given the moniker "Fast-Track"! I've gotta hand it to ya'. You don't ever seem to do things half ways. If you detect a little bit of "kilt envy" coming out of the Great White North, it's only me sweating it out in trowsers waiting for the weekend freedom to arrive. Best of luck with your plan!

I still have 2 pairs of jeans and 1 pair of dress trousers. I'll probably keep those for awhile yet and one pair of jeans for grubby work that calles for legs covered to prevent cuts, scrapes and contusions.

[Graham]

wow, it's hard keeping up with posts:

Bear thanks for the compliment, it means a lot coming from you.

David tell you wife I usually wear shorts when doing a lot of ladder work. The sight of a kilted man walking along the roofs of shops in the main street may cause the police to be called.

Casey I'll keep the green tights, I have also kept some work overalls for spraypainting, and a couple of pairs of thermal trackpants (as we call them), they are loose and comfortable for the temp goes to -30 (like never). I only had about four pairs of trousers/jeans left, some quite expensive too, but they will fit some other poor sod who hasn't discovered kilts yet.

Blu My wife is always saying I don't do things by half, but my daddy always said "if a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing well".

[bubba]

My grandpappy always said if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing

[richardljohnson]

Graham, I'm envious. I have more klts than pants at this point BUT I can't swing my boss over to the fact that 'Yes, I can work on computers, craw under desk and get into ceilings with out showing the 'naturals' God gave me.'

She will allow it under several different "special" circumstances and when asked the policy is "buisiness casual" but I can't get her to that point yet of realizing my idea of casual includes kilts!

I'm working on it but (as said in the country) "It is a hard row to hoe!"

Congrats on the commitment and I'm with you in spirit and hopefully with you full time in the future.

RLJ-

Thanks Richard, but hey, don't let my situation make you feel guilty in any way, it's easy for me, I'm self employed. One of the few advantages of that is that I don't have to ask a boss's permission, I am the man!
